Also, if I open the desktop shortcut properties I see that target is truncated:
C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe C:\\Users\\username\wslu\runHidden.vbs "C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\\ubuntu2004.exe" run "cd ~; . /usr/share/wslu/wsl-integration.s Could be that the target is too long when `--gui` flag is used? Without `--gui` flag, the target is much shorter: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\CanonicalGroupLimited.Ubuntu20.04onWindows_79rhkp1fndgsc\ubuntu2004.exe run "cd ~; terminator" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1914601 Title: GUI apps do not start from the link created To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wslu/+bug/1914601/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
